president's agenda than harry reid, who we met for in the capitol on friday for this exclusive interview. he was feisty and confident, especially on this week's top issue, immigration reform. >> it has to get done. we have to work hard to get it done. it's really easy to write principles, to write legislation, much harder, and once we write the legislation, we have to get it passed, but i think things are looking really good. they're looking good for a number of reason, the right thing to do and, number two, the republicans can no longer stop this. they've tried it and it hasn't worked. look at what they tried to do to me a couple of years ago, look at what they tried to do with the president just this last time, and it just didn't work. >> but it still seems there will be a big sticking point, the biggest, i see, tie between border security and the path to citizenship for the illegal immigrants. senator rubio, part of the bipartisan group of senators said unless you have real triggers, he's not going to support the bill. >> that trigger is critically important, otherwise it will never h

that have kept -- that's kept harry reid in office there. and there seems to be a recognition by some donors that you can't let the most extreme elements run your party. >> so let's see how the gun debate fits into this next story. a group of republican donors is rolling out a new effort to try and fend off tea party challengers who say they're hurting the gop's chances of taking control of the senate. it's called a conservative victory party. and it's backed by karl rove and the super pac american crossroads. their aim, to institutionalize the buckley rule by supporting in primaries the most conservative candidate who can actually win a general election. the new effort is meant to be a counterweight to more hard-line conservative groups that have spent big money on primary challengers to their liking. the organization is already eyeing seats being vacated by democratic senator tom harkin of iowa and republican senator saxby chambliss of georgia. i'm just wondering, do you need to -- is the same well where you want to go to renew the republi
